2018 SVE Rocket 2 2.3L Petrol · CD06 SJD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having achieved a pass in its most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 3,856 miles. This followed a failure just one day prior on 30 April 2025 at 3,814 miles which notably recorded no specific defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor discrepancy that was immediately rectified without indicating a deeper mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 482 miles per year. Data shows significant gaps between testing intervals, such as the 609-mile increase between June 2022 and August 2023, and the 358-mile increase leading to the 2025 tests. While low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use suggest the car sits stationary for extended periods, which can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluidrelated issues. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by stagnation and low-use cycles. It is essential to check the brake discs for surface corrosion and binding, as infrequent use often leads to seized calipers or pitted rotors. The inspector should also examine suspension bushes and tyres for dry rot or cracking, which occurs due to age rather than mileage. Additionally, verifying the condition of the battery and fluids is vital to ensure the vehicle has not suffered internal degradation during its periods of inactivity.
